Nevis Range - Highest Course in the UK!

Orienteering at Nevis Range offers an adventurous way to explore the Scottish Highlands! 

To access the orienteering course, you’ll need a Gondola Ticket available on the Nevis Range website or onsite. The score course (suggested limit of up to 90 minutes) is based at the top gondola station at the Nevis Range, so you can have the excitement of a c500m vertical climb on a gondola. 

If you’ve never tried orienteering before, you’re strongly advised to stick to controls 1 to 10 which are closer to the gondola station and use the paths. Controls 11 and upwards require navigating away from paths and hence require, the ability to use a compass to navigate across open ground off a path and walking boots or similar suitable for rough terrain. 

Control 22 is the highest orienteering control site in the United Kingdom at 793m!

Please read the important safety instructions on the map.
